Hi

What you are writing makes sense to me. However, to me it sounds a bit 
like a "technical solution to a social problem".

This solution relies on the assumption that everyone in the project 
automatically "accepts" the solution with no hard feelings.  Yet, I feel 
that our primary issue is that despite TC ruling and GRs, we have 
contributors that do not "accept" the solutions nor the process outcomes 
to end the conflict - and I do not see what would make people accept 
this process as a end of the conflict (when a GR could not).

Thanks,
~Niels
